In Vermont, a riotous part of N America (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ontario

'part of n america' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in vermont a riotous' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ONTARIO' is hidden in the letters of 'vermont a riotous'.

(Other definitions for ontario that I've seen before include "Canadian Great lakes province" , "part of Canada" , "A North American lake" , "part of N America" , "Root in a Great Lake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
